SOG Stingray 2.0

My First Book on Amazon Now!

"Cliff’s Unofficial L322 ‘Full Fat’ Range Rover Buyers Guide" will inform the reader of the best: years, engines, transmissions, tires, and leather, so they can buy the perfect Range Rover. Years of research went into this Range Rover book, including exclusive interviews and extensive reading into owners reports, RAVE, and TOPIX. This Range Rover book presents the reader with crucial information essential to buying a reliable Range Rover.

This Range Rover book is essential because the third generation Range Rover L322 is an amazing car on and off road if properly configured; unfortunately, it can also be an unfinished albatross if the wrong power-train and/or model year is purchased. The off road ability of the L322 is largely dependent on power-train and differential configuration with earlier models using torsen center differential and an open differential which switched to an electronic locking center differential and optional rear differential which took the Range Rover to all new heights off road.

If you have ever thought about buying a 3rd Generation Range Rover this is the Range Rover book for you. This Range Rover book has over 20 original pictures of Range Rovers on and off road. This Range Rover book is a result of years of passionate Range Rover ownership and adventures.
